About the Wine
The Tablas Creek Vineyard Dianthus 2023 is a blend of four estate-grown varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The blend incorporates the rosé traditions of the southern Rhône, taking its Mourvèdre foundation from the solid, dry rosés of Bandol and incorporating the structure of skin contact from the rich, juicy Grenache-based Tavel. Dianthus refers to a genus of flowering plants known for their deep pink blossoms and known colloquially to gardeners as "pinks".
Tasting Notes
A luscious nose of lemon drop, passion fruit, sea spray and sweet green herbs. The palate has mouth-filling texture, with flavors of gooseberry and crystallized pineapple and a focused saline mineral note that lingers into the long finish, underpinning additional notes of tropical fruit and jasmine-like florality. Drink now and over the next few years.
